Almond and orange tiny cakes for breakfast

We are all talking about Christmas lunches, dinners, gourmet gifts to impress people we love, chocolate afternoon treats in front of the fireplace, lit by the lights of the Christmas tree and the flames of the fireplace. But what about breakfast? This year I want also an lavish Christmas breakfast, slightly different from the usual milk and cereals, soft and fragrant.

I want to start greatly the day that for me is one of the most exciting of the year with a soft tiny cake, whose flavours and fondant heart remind the typical Sienese ricciarelli. This is a very special tiny cake, where the lager beer gives a light malty aroma.

Yum! It sounds interesting because of the beer… I’m wondering if you can taste beer when you eat it. I will definitely bake it, probably after Christmas because I’m very busy now with all the baking, making home made presents.

I’m gonna try making these, but then with blueberry-beer. We have a bottle of that in our basement. But my dad doesn’t touch it (too feminine I guess), but he’s the only one who drinks beer! So if I can make some tasty cupcakes out of it, it would be great 🙂
